Thank you for telling me that, it means a lot. She IS more herself, more productive, more creative, more engaged. Medication is not perfect, it has issues, but we've tried taking her off (because it's so freaking hard to have your little girl on medication) and she asked every day for her medicine and it was so obvious all the ways she was better off.

My DS10 would also say that his medication helps him be his best self. He would much rather live without the extreme anxiety and the countless very serious behavior mistakes that anxiety led him to make.
